During the D23
@DisneyLorcana
Panel, they discusssd maintaining distinct “Ink Identities.” It was so exciting to get my hands on a Trove and see they used the ink identity art on the box and lore counter. It really shows that the “Lore of Lorcana” is still unfolding before us 👀
🎉It only took a most of a year of playing, but I finally won a tournament! 🎉
It was a 1 year draft tournament and, sure there were only 8 people, but I am still proud! Now can I do it again tomorrow for an Ursula 🤔
Behold! I may be fatigued and stinky and sore and broke (new members of the Seven Dwarves?) but I am a VERY happy Illumineer. So happy I was able to check everything off my Friday D23 list today and my suitcase is now filled with
@DisneyLorcana
and
@RavensburgerNA
treasures!
🤯 I am 39 people away from from 500 followers 🤯
Assuming I get there, what playmat should I pick to giveaway for the 500 Follower Celebration? All three are so pretty 😍
After surviving the great Lorcana shortage of 2023 I can’t help but to fight the urge to buy every single pack in this display because it feels like seeing the rarest thing in the world 🤩
I got excited because I realized that I could bring my new stickers to the park and give them to anyone that recognized me! Then I humbled myself by remembering I have 31 subscribers. I am just really proud of my stickers, ok?
I have officially collected a master set of Sets 1, 2 and 3 - four copies of each card 1 through 204, plus a foil of each. Which leads me to ponder: should I stop the completionism at set 5? I love collecting so turning off that part of my brain might not be an option 😅
Well, in a poetic ending, I was taken down by Steel Song. But honestly, any day steel song does well, is a good day.
🎉 BUT I TOOK HOME THIRD PLACE! 🎉
My tummy hurts but I am a happy girl in a silly (but potentially magical) hat!
OK, I need help auditing my collection: am I missing any pins or lore counters? I think I have them all but also I can’t find a place to check if I really do 🧐
Was it the

bucket hat? Was it the

coaching? Was it the Steel Song Supremacy? I think all three - but all I know is I finally secured third place and I have my very own Stitch 🏆
Guys. It it turns out the cure to a bad pull rate is to openly complain about how you haven’t pulled enchanted to the Internet. Please use this post as a place to cleanse yourself of all bad vibes as you shake your fist at the universe and may many holos come to you 🍀🙏🏻
It only took a year but I finally brewed a deck without netdecking. Is it a creative deck? No. But I am excited to leave my Steel Song/Ruby Amethyst comfort zone and use my new favorite card: “Redeem this Coupon for Two Free Lore!”

To celebrate the launch of my NEW show, The Lorekeeper’s Inn, we are having three weeks of giveaways! Week One you are entering for a chance to win a Green Logo Pin and a Bucky Promo Card!
My decklist from today! No spice here, haha. I am very thankful for the guide from

I lovingly call this deck the “Honda Civic” - it’s not going to impress anyone or do anything amazing but it is really reliable and a safe choice.
If you wanted to know what the most comfortable outfit to wait in line in is, it is NOT floor length polyester wizard’s robes. But I am in a room that has

🚨Attention Illumineers🚨
Soon I will have a psychiatrist on the show to talk about the science behind our brains on TCGs and mental health hygiene.
Do you have any questions about “your brain on TCGs” you would like answered? Tweet them to me below!
To anyone competing in the
@DisneyLorcana
Set Championships that might need to hear this: remember that you are not an imposter and that you belong in the room. If you show up, you already did something to be proud of - the rest is just confetti. You got this!
Everyday I get to play Disney Lorcana is a good day but today was EXTRA good because I got to help work with other passionate people to teach the game to first time players who are here celebrating D23 - I love this game and I love this community so much 💖
Imagine playing the Disney TCG Lorcana, and deciding to make fun of "Disney Adults". 🤣 Shooting yourself in the foot.
I don't consider myself a Disney Adult, but I am not about to trash on what is likely half the player base. Wild decision, let's see how it pays off.
To all those who have made it to one full year of playing Lorcana: you did it! You have made it from short term hyperfixation to long term special interest!

Tonight is the first night running a brand new chapter of Disney Lorcana League with my dear friend and I feel like I am a real deal community member now 🥹
🥳 IT IS THE GRAND FINALE GIVEAWAY to celebrate the launch of my NEW show, The Lorekeeper’s Inn! 🥳
Today starts Week 3 and you are entering for a chance to win my a Disney Lorcana Rapunzel Playmat!You can enter on Twitter, Instagram and Threads, for of 3 chances to win!
I am officially ONE follower away from 100 subscribers on YouTube! 🥳
Because I love all of you and I love giveaways, to celebrate the occasion once I hit 100, I will be doing a giveaway of this BEAUTIFUL Kida pin! (Everyone can marvel at my silver satin pothos for free, though)
Since competitive Lorcana looks insanely intense to play, my new goal is to convince the Lorcana team that tournaments need a “Disney Data Correspondent.” Not sure your opponent said HeiHei right? Need insight on what a Dinglehopper is? I am on standby for these critical calls 🫡
I run a small
@disneylorcana
league and what we lack in numbers, I like to make up for with whimsy and trivia.
Today is a memorial for pre-errata Bucky, who flew too close to the discard sun. He was a little squirrel but he made a giant impact on our hearts (and mental health).
Listen, we can speculate all day why the Ursula Set Championship card is selling for a lower amount that last set champs but we all know the real answer: Stitch has been and always will be the prettiest girl at the party 🤷🏻♀️
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
The Disney Lorcana App was briefly infiltrated by what witnesses described as a “very large mouse” - the suspect, pictured below, was seen trying to destroy the reputation of a local father and toymaker. Please keep all rodent based cards sleeved and safe.
So my current strategy for collecting is four of every card plus a single foil of each card. Chp 1 is complete, Chp 2 I am missing two and Chp 3 I am missing twelve. What is everyone else’s collection strategy?
Am I ready to win tomorrow? No. But I am ready to fight for my life to get enough tickets for a nonfoil rapunzel and also aggressively (but in a friendly way) hand out stickers 🫡
It’s happening! I built and started playtesting a deck!
I think I will only be doing one or two set champs for Ursula’s Return - how many are you planning to do this time around?
In crazy news, a local store had their Set Championships items delayed and got permission to run their event later and how they want so I am am participating in a Set Championship SEALED event. Crazy, right? Legal? Who knows.
I am so sad that it’s over but I am grateful that I was able to attend this whirlwind of a weekend! Thank you to everyone that said “hello” and a GIANT thank you to my husband for being a ticket farmer with me! Now this Illumineer is questing straight for a 20 snore count nap 😴
To celebrate the launch of my NEW show, The Lorekeeper's Inn, we are having three weeks of giveaways!
Today starts Week 2 and you are entering for a chance to win my personal favorite Disney Lorcana pin - Pooh Hunny Wizard! 🐝🍯🧙♂️
Good news is I organized all my cards!
Bad news is I now have a visual representation of my a year of buying packs feel alive 🥲
For Halloween this year everyone gets a baggy of random bulk or I am afraid I will end up on “Intervention” or “Hoarders” 🫣
So happy that I was able to check the last Lorcana “To Do” off my list and attend the
@DisneyLorcana
Artist Signing tonight and meet
@FromHappyRock
,
@arbeesketch
and Alice Pisoni. So much magic in the game comes from the artists and I am grateful I had a chance to meet them 💖
But realistically, how was I supposed to resist something that has a card named “Flubs”? I was doomed. It was a targeted attack on my sensibilities. My body craves woodland whimsy and wonder so here is hoping it’s a one and done hyperfixation 🤞🏻
But how did the TSA agent know I went to D23? 🧐
My carry-on might be 100% cardboard and weigh approximately 300 pounds, but I am so excited to get home today and start organizing all my
@RavensburgerNA
and
@DisneyLorcana
goodies. And then? It’s deck building time 😎
I keep accidentally typing “DCL” (Disney Cruise Line) instead of “DLC” (Disney Lorcana Challenge). The obvious conclusion is there needs to a “DCLDLC” (Disney Cruise Line Disney Lorcana Challenge). I won’t be sad about missing the Day 2 cut if I am enjoying a cocktail at sea🍹🛳️
Very big fan of the flavor continuity in these three but also a bigger fan of Kronk having a bouncer lever.
It is a 10 out of 10, no notes (except that if Kronk is the bouncer, he is definitely letting Bucky into the party 🤷🏻♀️)

The Lorekeeper's Inn premieres Thursday, June 13!
To celebrate the launch of my NEW show, The Lorekeeper's Inn, we are having three weeks of giveaways! Starting tomorrow, each Wednesday, I will post how to enter on both Twitter, Instagram and Threads.
@YbreezyS
It was really hard to not act like I was meeting an a list celebrity when I finally got to meet
@zachbivens1
today. He is talented AND really nice and absolutely deserves the GOAT status
Alright, everyone is asleep so I can post my really controversial opinion: for 75-90% of people, the 2 Game Format is so fitting for the DLC. Seeing the floor still filled with people playing as hard as they can ten hours into a tournament was so encouraging and exciting.
If you find yourself feeling smug about identifying “AI” in art, just draw a posed hand and share it with the class so we can congratulate you for being the best artist that ever existed.
Or just keep your opinion to yourself 🤗
It’s HAPPENING!
Also, if I ask really, really nicely, can
@DisneyLorcana
have merch for me to buy at D23? I just want to live my dream of an Illumineer Spirit Jersey SO BAD! Also pins. And a mug. Really any and all merch - I really like merch, ok?
The biggest shout out in the world to
@IllumiQueer
and
@IllumineerCass
for being my very first two guests and putting up with my absolute nightmare storm of technological issues - now to learn how to be an editing pro and soon The Lorekeeper’s Inn is ready for show time!
The D.A.R.E. program did not prepare me for the real addiction I would face as an adult of buying booster packs. In my defense, though, I am down to a pack a day and I can stop anytime I want.
Ok, since I am on a manifestion journey of power where I spoke the Lorcana app update into being, I have two unopened booster boxes and I am going to pull an enchanted.
(If this comes true, please don’t burn me at the stake for being witch)
Listen, I am not a statistician but I am just saying from reviewing my social media feed it seems entirely possible that every human on earth pulled an enchanted from set four except me.
My poor future opponents when I hit them with “Here is my sticker! I have a YouTube channel - make sure to follow me! No, I mean right now. I can wait. Please.”
But I am almost to 100 YouTube subscribers and 400 twitter followers - I believe in the power of stickers 🙌🏻
Hot take of the day: It is fun to joke about hating meta decks online or amongst friends. However, people generally want to win and base their deck on statistical and proven advantages. On tournament day, remember that you don’t need to snark to your opponent about their deck.
I bought six packs so I can do a video on how I like to build a sealed deck, but now the packs are calling to me like Smeagol and the ring and it’s very distracting.
I feel like I am at the cool people convention and I am so happy 🥹 This community is simply the best ✨ (and thank you to
@illumiteers
and
@BSquared24
and
@francisdominiic
for taking pics with me!)
Is anyone else in a state of absolute mental fog and exhaustion after the past 10 days of Set Championships preparations and participation? It was so incredibly fun but also my brain feels like a bowl of macaroni salad 🥴
Yesterday, I was feeling fiscally responsible and did not try to get Vegas tickets. Today I am back to working and feel the need to spend money to feel alive and I’m very sad that I did not try. It was just so fun hanging out with cool people in a big room doing fun things.
The day is here: The Lorekeeper’s Inn is live!
Starting over is scary, but right now I am just so grateful to be in such a warm and supportive community.
Today we talk DLC Chicago! Topics include rooting for Bivens, why Amber lagging and why Rare Sisu saw play in top decks!
PLUSH MOUNTAIN PLUSH MOUNTAIN PLUSH MOUNTAIN
They have a free to play crane game, but if you lose twice you get one any way. But me? FIRST TRY. I might not be a proTCG player but I am an absolute GOAT at crane games 💪🏻
Today I am ordering sleeves and binders and making sure my colllection is all neat and organized in preparation for the new Lorcana set - does anyone else experience TCG nesting when a new set is on the way?
Hot new trading card game tip! If you let your cards take over the kitchen table, my husband will invest in modular bulk card storage solution! I can’t say it will work for everyone because I imagine he is mainly concerned about our kitchen table, but you don’t know until you try
Everything is coming up Hunny Wizard! I got to meet the wonderful Shane and Richelle of
@DisneyLorcana
and got my cards! Thank you
@RavensburgerNA
for putting together such a fun booth!
I used my extra pin board to showcase some of my favorite Disney pins from my collection!
Chandu, Vista Way, Stitch, Duffy and Disney Quest: a little bit of all my favorite Disney memories. Which one is your favorite?
Life has changed since I became a mother 20 minutes ago when I adopted this small child from the
@SteiffUK
booth. Turns out Experiment 626 was handmade in Germany and I can confirm he is cute AND fluffy.
Today I am temporarily abandoning my loyalty to the bucket hat brigade because I really want to see if this hat has any magical powers. And even if I don’t win at least I have a really intimidating hat, you know?
So I have not opened an enchanted in month. I arrive at my friends house and they say “help us open packs!” This was my first pack 🥲
Is finders keepers a universal legally binding contract?
I feel like trading card game release days reveals that the evolutionary Hunter-Gatherer gene in me is very strong. All I wanna do is go and find items like a little goblin.
Lorcana Finance Experts: I feel like Diablo is super overvalued at the moment - I think it is a fragile bird that will likely settle closer to $25. Do you think it’s having a Belle Hidden Archer or Beast Relentless overvaluation bubble? Or will Diablo hold at $50?
I need a support group for people who stack their unsorted Common and Uncommons in precarious piles with the promise of finding a storage solution. Till then, they are my kitchen table monument to ADHD 🫣
Today was an absolutely perfect day: 12 hours of questing and meeting wonderful humans.
Tomorrow’s goal? I need more stickers! And also exactly one ticket - here is hoping pack rush is available because my brain cannot another tournament 🫨
As we approach the new set release, I want to pace out opening my booster boxes more evenly since last time I opened all my boxes on release day and then had pack opening withdrawal the next 3 months. What is your new release booster box strategy? How may boxes do you aim for?
I had to do a “Get to Know Me” with my new team and was asked about my hobbies and the interviewer said “oh Lorcana? My sons play that and it’s crazy hearing two 20 year olds talking about Disney characters.” To which I said “Well you’re about to hear a 35 year old do it 🤷🏻♀️”
